Inferring eye position from populations of lateral intraparietal neurons
Understanding how the brain computes eye position is essential to unraveling high-level visual functions such as eye movement planning, coordinate transformations and stability of spatial awareness. The lateral intraparietal area (LIP) is essential for this process. However, despite decades of research, its contribution to the eye position signal remains controversial. LIP neurons have recently...
متن کاملFunctional heterogeneity of macaque lateral intraparietal neurons.
The macaque lateral intraparietal area (LIP) has been implicated in many cognitive processes, ranging from saccade planning and spatial attention to timing and categorization. Importantly, different research groups have used different criteria for including LIP neurons in their studies. While some research groups have selected LIP neurons based on the presence of memory-delay activity, other re...
متن کاملCoding of shape and position in macaque lateral intraparietal area.
The analysis of object shape is critical for both object recognition and grasping. Areas in the intraparietal sulcus of the rhesus monkey are important for the visuomotor transformations underlying actions directed toward objects. The lateral intraparietal (LIP) area has strong anatomical connections with the anterior intraparietal area, which is known to control the shaping of the hand during ...
متن کاملDirection selectivity of neurons in the macaque lateral intraparietal area.
The lateral intraparietal area (LIP) of the macaque is believed to play a role in the allocation of attention and the plan to make saccadic eye movements. Many studies have shown that LIP neurons generally encode the static spatial location demarked by the receptive field (RF). LIP neurons might also provide information about the features of visual stimuli within the RF. For example, LIP receiv...
متن کاملInferring Position Knowledge from Location Predicates
Many contextand location-aware applications request high accuracy and availability of positioning systems. In reality however, knowledge about the current position may be incomplete or inaccurate as a result of, e.g., limited coverage. Often, position data is thus merged from a set of systems, each contributing a piece of position knowledge. Traditional sensor fusion approaches such as Kalman o...
